LONG BEACH, CA – The brief (two-day) Fullcourt Press All-West Camp (presented by Pangos) was capped by three all-star games Thursday night at Cabrillo High – shockingly, even as rain fell in Sunny Southern California!
Nothing quite as startlingly as July rain took place on the floor but the 30-plus college coaches and various recruiting analysts –including yours truly, Joel Francisco (ESPN.com), Josh Gershon and Greg Hicks (Scout.com) and Chad Groth (Area Codes Basketball) – in attendance got a look at some solid prospects, both well-known and others getting their first large-scale exposure.
Here are some of the players that impressed me, beginning with the Top 75 contest . . .
*Will Newman (6-foot/2013/Lawndale, CA) He was outstanding during the tournament hosted by Bellflower St. John Bosco High a couple of weeks ago and he was just as impressive Thursday night, getting the ball to open shooters and knocking in jumpers – and floaters – himself.
*Stephen Thompson (6-1/2015/Torrance, CA, Bishop Montgomery): The oldest son of Cal State Los Angeles head coach (and former Crenshaw High and Syracuse standout) Stevie Thompson is a terrific prospect – with a much better jump shot (smile) than pop probably has even today!
*Jordan Griffin (6-2/2016/Corona, CA, Centennial): He’s going to be a major impact freshman for the Huskies of Coach Josh Gilles and he showed why Thursday night. If he picked up three inches or so before too long, what he will be doing to defenders will be almost unfair.
*George Johnson (5-9/2013/Brentwood, CA, Heritage): He was both quick and slick – a pretty good combination for a point guard at that size. He also played on-balance – another nifty thing that impresses college recruiters.
And the Top 50 game . . .
*Daryl Robertson (6-0/2013/Boise, ID, Centennial): Meet the newest solid point guard in the Class of 2013 to enter my universe – he is strong, solid with the ball and penetrates under control. He also knocked in a couple of jumpers (including a 3), to boot.
*Nick Velasquez (6-1/2013/Honolulu, HI, Punahou): He made quite an immediate impact as a “catch and shoot it”-type, knocking in three 3s in the first half.
*Jacob Bigler (6-1/2014/South Weber, UT, Northridge): Shot just as well – and from as deep – as did Velasquez but seemed as if he is a bit better off the dribble.
*Kahlil Simplis (6-0/2015/North Hollywood, CA, Campbell Hall): He doesn’t yet have the national (or even reputation) of many of the other rising sophomore point guards in the West – but that is about to change. He’s very good and plays the position the way it’s supposed to be played.
*Jonathan Ross (6-7/2015/Long Beach, CA, St. Anthony): He’s a transfer from Orange Lutheran who will have a major impact on his new program – the alma mater of long-time NBA point guard Darrick Martin – under new Coach Eric Cooper.
*Devinir Derousseau (6-7/2014/Sylmar, CA): He started the contest with a jump hook and was aggressive – and effective, at both end of the floor – the rest of the way.
And, finally – the Top 25 tilt . . .
*Kaleahl Ferguson (5-9/2013/Long Beach, CA, Jordan): The left hander is one of the quickest players in Southern California. The proof was in his on-court performance Thursday night.
*Trevor Dunbar (5-8/2014/San Francisco, CA, St. Ignatius): He is one of the better junior-to-be point guards from Northern California. He made solid decisions Thursday night.
*Malcolm and Marcus Allen (6-1/2013/Las Vegas, NV, Centennial): Here is the best way I can differentiate the twins (who are both exceptional students, FYI) – Malcolm is more the “jump shooter” of the duo while Marcus is more the “point guard”. Correct me if I’m wrong, guys.
*Kris Yanku (6-3/2013/Woodland Hills, CA, Taft): If an early favorite for the 2013 L.A. City Player of the Year honor needs to be designated now, he’s the guy.
*EJ Floreal (6-5/2013/Palo Alto, CA): He’s the teammate of Aubrey Dawkins and another reason why they’ll be playing for one of the best teams in Northern California next season. No one played harder or more effectively in the game.
*Tyler Dorsey (6-4/2015/Henderson, NV, Findlay Prep): Apparently his next stop (he played his freshman season for Ribet Academy in Los Angeles) is Nevada. He picked up co-MVP honors Thursday night (with the aforementioned Floreal).
*Jordan Bell (6-7/2013/Long Beach, CA, Poly): No one in Southern California rebounds, dunks or blocks shots more impressively than this guy, who is a key member for a team that is likely to go into next season top-ranked in California. Now, if he could just add some solid post moves and a jump shot to the repertoire.
*Daniel Young (6-8/2013/Las Vegas, NV, Valley): The left hander blocked some shots, ran well and finished in traffic. Add him to your list of the best posts in the senior-to-be class.
*Jacob Hammond (6-10/2014/Oklahoma City, OK, Oklahoma Sky): He hit some jump shots, rebounded fairly well in crowds and caught every pass thrown to him. He’ll be recruited on a national scale.
